(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah terrorists have received weapons hidden beneath goods and supplies in trucks ostensibly destined for humanitarian aid, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told reporters Sunday afternoon. He instructed intelligence officers to explain to the press Hizbullah tactics.

The IDF has begun sending to the media films from ground troops and from pilots on Hizbullah actions, including the use of residences as storage centers for rocket launchers. One film shows a truck with rocket launchers entering a building.

#4 I don't care if Hezbollah launches from daycare centers. Only consistent counter-battery is going to persuade the locals just how ~~fatal~~ unwise it is to tolerate the presence of these terrorist cretins. When apartment blocs open fire on arriving Hezbollah trucks, only then will a corner have been turned.

#5 It is not just Hezbollah - Lebanon and the people in southern Lebanon are guilty too. Every sovereign nation has the responsibility to abide by international law. Lebanon's claimed position as an innocent bystander is belied by the facts. It has allowed the Hezbollah terrorists to become entrenched in southern Lebanon where it is permitted to freely conduct its illegal terrorist operations. The idea that terrorists can conduct murderous terror operations from safe havens within willing sovereign nations ended with 9/11. Nations must make choices - they are either for or against the fundamentalist Islamist terrorists. A decision by a government to allow terrorists within its sovereign borders to accumulate rockets and arms and then discriminately fire those rockets into civilian populations of a neighboring state cannot be tolerated. When the terrorist forces within a country become so powerful they cannot be ontrolled by the government, then the government and the people within the country who by choice or acquiescence allowed this to happen have assumed the position of human shields protecting the terrorists. The consequences of such decisions assure that innocent people on both sides of the border will be become casualties, and those casualties are the responsibility of the terrorists and human shield government.

I heartily agree, Hank. All that remains is ~~killing~~ convincing the terrorists.

#8 Hezb'Allah was put into the government in an election by the Lebanese people. They are not innocent, they are complicit. The adults deserve what they get. The only innocents in Lebanon are the children.

#9 Let's not forget that the Lebanese civil war was one of the opening rounds in the current Islamic world war against the rest of us. Up until relatively recently, Lebanon was a majority Christian country. However, because of the formidable reproductive capacity of their captive females, the Islamists are now the majority--that and the propensity for the Christian Lebanese to immigrate to the west. Unfortunately, I think Lebanon is probably the Islamic model for the future of the west.

I'm sure that we will soon see the Muslim refugees from the south being sheltered in the Christian areas of Lebanon in "refugee camps". Once they are in place the whole area becomes Islamic property...
